An afternoon in ER

[Tink]

Greg sent me to the hardware store this afternoon to pick up a couple things for him and when I walked in they said "Your dh is on the phone." I expected he'd thought of something else he needed me to pick up. No such luck!

He'd been working on the dog pen, and stood up in the wrong spot and smacked his face on the end of the arm of the steel clothes line pole. He bent and scratched his glasses, and scraped his eyeball quite badly. So I had to rush home and take him to the hospital.

He's on antibiotics, vicodin for the pain, and has to go see a specialist tomorrow. He was supposed to have gone back to work tomorrow after having had a week off, and now he's off until at least Thursday, propbably longer.

I also have my oldest granddd here and am supposed to take her back tomorrow... so it should be a juggling act trying to get her home as well as him taken care of. The shingles need to be put on the dog houses yet, and a gate needs to be built and mounted, but the project has come to an abrupt halt with dh's injury. He's now not allowed to bend over because it can put pressure on his eyeball.
